Guiding Principles of Science Instruction:
IDOE Resources
Standard | Grade | Area/Subject | Description |
---|---|---|---|
1.E.1 |
1 |
Engineering | Pose questions, make observations, and obtain information about a situation people want to change. Use this data to define a simple problem that can be solved through the construction of a new or improved object or tool. |
1.E.2 |
1 |
Engineering | Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate and investigate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve an identified problem. |
1.E.3 |
1 |
Engineering | Analyze data from the investigation of two objects constructed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs. |
1.ESS.1 |
1 |
Earth and Space Science | Use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe patterns that can be predicted. |
1.ESS.2 |
1 |
Earth and Space Science | Observe and compare properties of sand, clay, silt, and organic matter. Look for evidence of sand, clay, silt, and organic matter as components of soil samples. |
1.ESS.3 |
1 |
Earth and Space Science | Observe a variety of soil samples and describe in words and pictures the soil properties in terms of color, particle size and shape, texture, and recognizable living and nonliving items. |
1.ESS.4 |
1 |
Earth and Space Science | Develop solutions that could be implemented to reduce the impact of humans on the land, water, air, and/or other living things in the local environment |
1.LS.1 |
1 |
Life Science | Develop representations to describe that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles but all have in common birth, growth, reproduction, and death. |
1.LS.2 |
1 |
Life Science | Develop a model mimicking how plants and/or animals use their external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet their needs. Explore how those external parts could solve a human problem. |
1.LS.3 |
1 |
Life Science | Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats. |
1.LS.4 |
1 |
Life Science | Use a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants and animals (including humans) and the places they live. |
1.PS.1 |
1 |
Physical Science | Characterize materials as solid, liquid, or gas and investigate their properties, record observations and explain the choices to others based on evidence (i.e., physical properties). |
1.PS.2 |
1 |
Physical Science | Predict and experiment with methods (sieving, evaporation) to separate solids and liquids based on their physical properties. |
1.PS.3 |
1 |
Physical Science | Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate. |
1.PS.4 |
1 |
Physical Science | Make observations to collect evidence and explain that objects can be seen only when illuminated. |
